Your vehicle is equipped with an electromechani
cal parking brake. T
he parking brake is designed
to prevent the vehicle from rolling unintentional
ly and replaces the hand brake.
In addition to the normal functions of a tradi
tional hand brake, the electromechanical parking
brake provides various convenience
and safety
functions .
Driving
When starting from rest
-The integral hill start assist helps you when
driving by automatically releasing the parking
brake¢ page 62, Starting from a stop.
-When starting on inclines, the hill start assist
prevents the veh icle from un intentionally roll
ing back . The braking force
of the parking brake
is
not re leased unti l sufficient driving force has
been built up at the wheels.
Emergen cy brake function
An emergency braking fu nction ensures that the
vehicle can be slowed down even if the normal
brakes fail¢ page 62, Emergency braking
functi on.

A WARNING
t-==
-Do not press the acce lerator pedal inadver-
tently if the vehicle is stationary but the en
gine is ru nning and a gear is selected. Oth
erwise the vehicle will start to move imme
diately and co uld result in a crash.
-
If the power supply fails, the released park
ing brake
can no longer engage. In this
case, park t he vehicle on level ground and
secure it by plac ing the selector l eve r in the
P position. See an authorized Audi deale r o r

-If driver's door is opened while the ignition
is
switched on, the parking brake sets auto
matically. This prevents unintended rolling
of the vehicle.
- Occasional noises
when the parking brake is
applied
and released are normal and are not
a cause for concern.
-
When the vehicle is parked, the parking
brake goes through a self-test cycle at regu
lar intervals. Any noises associated with this
are normal.
-If the. (USA models) I. (Cana-
da models) indicator lights or llJ indicator
lig ht
turn on, there could be a malfunction
in the park ing brake ~page 11.
-If there is a power failure, the parking brake
will not set if it is released, and it will not
release if it is set~.&.. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa
cility for
assistance.
Parking
.... Press the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
.... Pull the switch~ to set the parking brake .
.... Place the selector lever in the P position.
.... Turn the engine off~,&.
.... Turn the steering wheel when parking on in
clines
so that the wheels will roll into the curb
if the vehicle starts moving .
A WARNING
-Always take the vehicle key with you when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short period
of time. This applies particularly when chi l
dren remai n in the vehicle. Otherwise the
children could start the engine, release the
parking brake or operate electrical equip
ment (e.g. power windows). There is the risk
of an accident.
-
When the vehicle is locked, no one -particu
larly
not children should remain in the vehi
cle. Locked
doors make it more difficult for
emergency workers to get into the vehicle,
which
puts lives at risk.

Starting from a stop
The start assist function ensures that the park
ing brake
is released automatically upon start
mg.
Stopping and applying parking brake
.... Pull the switch~ to set the parking brake.
Starting and automatically releasing the
parking brake
Requirement: the driver's door must be closed
and the driver's safety belt must be fastened.
.... When you press the accelerator pedal, the
parking brake is automatically released and
your vehicle begins to move.
When stopping at a traffic signal or stopping in
city traffic, the park ing brake can be applied. The
vehicle
does not have to be held with the brake
pedal. The parking brake eliminates the tendency
to creep when a selector lever position is engag
ed. As soon as you press the accelerator pedal,
the parking brake releases automatically and the
vehicle starts to move .
Starting on slope s
When starting on inclines, the hill start assist
prevents the vehicle from unintentionally rolling
back. The braking force
of the parking brake is
not released until sufficient driving force has
been built up at the wheels.
(0 Tips
For safety reasons, the parking brake is re
l
eased automatically onl y when the driver's
safety be lt is fastened and the driver's door is
l ocked.
Emergency braking function
In the event that the conventional brake system
fails or locks.
.... To brake your vehicle in an emergency, pull the
~switch and hold it pulled.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine voltage, the battery current, and the battery
temperature. The current charge level and the
performance of the battery are determined based
on this.
Idling current management
The idling cur
rent management decreases the
energy used w hile parked. With the engine
switched off, it manages the energy distribution
to the different electrical components. Date from
battery diagnosis is taken into account for this.
Depending
on the battery charge level, electrical
equipment is switched off one item after the oth
er, to prevent the battery from draining and to
retain the starting ability.
Dynamic energy manage
ment
While driving, dynamic energy management dis
tributes the appropriate amount of energy to the
electrical equipment. It controls the battery
charge level so that more energy is not used then
is being generated in order to maintain an opti
mal battery charge level.
(!) Tips
-Energy management cannot overcome the
laws of physics. Note that the charge level
and
length of the battery life are limited.
-
When the starting ability is jeopardized, the
r-1 indicator light turns on ~page 13.
What you should know
Maintaining the starting ability is the highest
priority.
A lot of stress is placed on the battery when driv
ing
short distances, in traffic, and at cold times
of the year. A lot of energy is used but little is
generated. It is also critical when the engine is
not running but electrical equipment is switched
on . In this case, energy is used but none is gener
ated.
In situations like this, energy management will
actively regu l
ated the distribution of energy.
Intelligent T echnology
Long periods without use
If you do not drive your vehicle for several days or
weeks, electrical consumers are gradually scaled
back
or switched off. This reduces energy use and
ensures the vehicle will be able to start after long
periods
of time. Some convenience functions
such
as opening with the remote control key may
not be available. These convenience functions
will be available again once you switch
the igni
tion on and start the engine.
With the engine switched off
The battery will drain if you use Infotainment
functions such as listening to the radio while the
engine is switched off.
The vehicle's
ability to start may be impa ired by
the energy use, a message will appear in the In
fotainment system display. The message indi
cates that the system will switch off automatical
ly soon. If you would like to continue using the
functions, you must start the engine.
With the engine running
Although electrical
energy is generated while
driv ing,
the battery can drain. This can happen
when little energy is generated, and much is used
and the charge level of the battery is not optimal.
To
restore the balance of energy, components
that require large amounts of energy are tempo
rarily scaled back or switched off. Heating sys
tems in particular require a great deal of energy.
If you notice, for example, that the seat heating*
or rear window defroster is not working, then it
has been temporarily re d uced or sw itched off.
T
hese systems are availab le again as soon as the
energy balance has been restored.
In addition, you may notice that the idle speed
has slightly increased. That is normal and no
cause for concern. Due to the increased idling
speed, the additional required energy will be
generated and the battery will be charged.
